Ardour 0.99.3 is available in Fedora Extras for FC6, you should be able to install it with Yum or Pirut if you are connected to the Internet, something like: # yum install ardour > I also have a couple of musically inclined friends who I recently built > a PC for, and set it up with FC6 and Windows.

For sequencing there are a number of options, I tend to use Rosegarden: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ There are others as well: Muse and Seq24 for example. Installing Rosegarden would be: # yum install rosegarden4 To blow my own trumpet, I've written a very basic beginners guide to making music on Fedora which is available from the Red Hat Magazine: http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/02/15/professional-audio-with-fedora-core-6/ One day I'll write part two dealing with Rosegarden...
